Society says “young men
are turning to the far
right because of
feminists” and not “young
women are turning to
feminism because of far
right men” is because the
first rule of patriarchy is
to blame women for
everything a man does.

This is a "Protect Our Women" rally in the #UK serving up the cliche old #racist lie nonwhite #immigrants intend to rape white #women

So why am I posting it?

Because the #sexualAssault survivor does something brave

On stage she says she's disgusted with them, because it was multiple middle aged white men, not a foreigner

The racists immediately boot her from the stage

This is what all these far right movements are for:

Predators redirecting blame elsewhere

Every accusation is a confession

In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning series starring Elizabeth Moss.

Things get textual when a steamy message from a random wrong number turns into an anonymous relationship in this hilarious rom-com by Lynn Painter.

Bad luck has always followed Olivia Marshall...or maybe she's just the screw-up her family thinks she is. But when a "What are you wearing?" text from a random wrong number turns into the hottest, most entertaining—albeit anonymous—relationship of her life, she thinks things might be on the upswing....

Colin Beck has always considered Olivia his best friend's annoying little sister, but when she moves in with them after one of her worst runs of luck, he realizes she's turned into an altogether different and sexier distraction. He's sure he can keep his distance, until the moment he discovers she's the irresistible Miss Misdial he's been sort of sexting for weeks—and now he has to decide whether to turn the heat up or ghost her before things get messy.

As the East Wing of the White House gets demolished, writer E.B. Boyd reflects on how it erases women's history. The East Wing holds the office of the first lady.

"Here, Lady Bird Johnson launched her highway beautification program & Michelle Obama worked to fight childhood obesity and help military families. It was from the East Wing that Pat Nixon helped to open China & Laura Bush directed a global fight against HIV & AIDS"

Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore.

Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again.

But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late—and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.

A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.

The statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, Westminster, London, honours the British suffragist leader and social campaigner Dame Millicent Fawcett. It was made in 2018 by Gillian Wearing.
She holds a banner with the words Courage Calls To Courage Everywhere. The bronze statue portrays Dame Millicent at the age of 50, when she became president of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. She wears a walking suit, typical attire of that period featuring an overcoat and a long dress. The artist integrated the pattern and texture of the tweed fabric into the bronze of the suit. description source wikipedia

When #ClaudiaSheinbaum was elected as #Mexico’s 1st female president, many hoped that historic moment would represent the beginning of the end of the male-dominated, machismo culture that has long permeated Mexican society.

13 months later, Sheinbaum was groped on the street by a constituent, a stark reminder that—despite her efforts—Mexico [& the world] still has far to go in its attempts to ensure #equality & #safety for #women.

Lily Allen's new album, "West End Girls" is storytelling "in its barest and sharpest form," writes Charisma Madarang for @RollingStone. She breaks down why it's resonating so much with women. “Women have financially, emotionally, and mentally done the work to advance ourselves, and now we’re realizing we don’t need to keep putting ourselves in situations where men embarrass us or do things that make us feel ashamed,” says Jessica Resendez, a social media editor with two children who is out of a long relationship.

When Nadia Amin, a witty and bighearted PhD, publishes an article on deradicalization, everything changes. The United Nations comes calling with an opportunity to put her theory into practice and lead a rehabilitation program for women caught in the crosshairs of harmful ideology. And why not? Abandoned by her mother and devastated by unrequited love, she leaps at the chance.

In Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she’s in over her head. The UN is a mess of competing interests, and her team consists of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr. But then Nadia meets Sara, a hilarious, foul-mouthed East Londoner who was pulled into radicalism at just fifteen. The two are kindred spirits, and Nadia vows to get Sara home.

As the rehabilitation program picks up traction, Sara reveals a secret that upends everything, forcing Nadia to make a drastic choice. In the fallout, Nadia’s brown-savior fantasies crumble, leaving her to wonder if she can save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.

A fierce, wildly funny, and razor-sharp exploration of radicalism, family, and the quest for belonging, Fundamentally boldly inspects one of the defining controversies of our age and introduces a fearless new voice in contemporary fiction.

A wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq wi

There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

#Women earn about 20% less than men for work of equal value, and retire with an average of 25% less than men.

They hold only 27% of parliamentary seats and 30% of management roles.

In 61 out of 131 countries, women have legal restrictions that prevent them from doing the same jobs as men.

Globally, nearly 1 in 5 young women (19%) aged 20–24 were married or in a union before turning 18.

Over 230 million girls and women globally have undergone genital mutilation
